5 world-class footballers who are well educated

#2 Edwin van der Sar

The legendary goalkeeper holds a Bachelor's degree in International Sports Management

Often regarded as being one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation, and by many as the greatest of all time, the former Dutch International is one of the most decorated and celebrated goalkeepers in the world with 27 major trophies. Most famously known for his stint with Manchester United, van der Sar's abilities have inspired many goalkeepers to pick up the gloves and start playing in his particular position.

Albeit, that did not stop him from acquiring higher certificates. Van der Sar, although retired, is currently the Marketing Director of Ajax, and he has also on the verge of acquiring his Master's Degree in International Sports Management as he holds a Bachelor's degree in the same course.
